Mother, should I run for President?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Is it just a waste of time?
Oh, mother.
So many questions, so little time.
While choosing a celebratory song I had to give in to the fact that, though most of us know at least one guy who would do well to sing Mother (by The Police from their album Synchronicity), to his mother this weekend, it doesn’t work when sung from a female perspective. With Mama Told Me Not To Come being so last year, and It’s Alright Ma I’m Only Bleeding, though a masterpiece, being more about authors than mothers, I end up thanking Pink Floyd for the introductory lyrics (from their song Mother), and wrap it up with a song by the first major female vocal group of the rock and roll era (wikipedia).
“For the hand that rocks the cradle — Is the hand that rules the world”
Happy Mothers Day
